The Old and Unsightly

I am aware of the Youth that has faded But Smiles all around will not make me feel jaded An ancient Bluto displaying first signs of flab Age to stay So why should I be an old-time crab? Fast food to indulge Having lost the battle of the bulge My LINES are a sight to see peer across and fear it NATURALLY Today for the young Our time departed Listen to the children This generation becoming OLD HEARTED The end is near Our beginning becoming clear For them The YOUTH and the MIGHTY As for ourselves: THE OLD AND UNSIGHTLY!!
